There's one external (only one) screw on the lock. Do NOT loosen or tighten the screw.
Don¨t even think about it!

It looks as if it holds an inspection cover in place but does not really do that).

It is a "trip wire" or "sucker" screw dreamed up by our protectors to protect you from something unforeseen .....or increase lock manufacturer or Nissan profits.
If touched, the lock will go to "locked" at the next cycle and you will be stuck.

You would then blame me...or the harness that folk have ordered...and all you did was
twist that screw !

Getting out of the drama caused by nudging the screw is intended to be impossible.

If fitting a harness check the harness works OK before cutting (or adding the switch).
